Basil - all I can say is, THANK GOD you are still alive!!! That is one heck of a story; I am thankful that you still are with us.

At least you don't have any protests scheduled for this week... yet... ;)

If it hasn't been stated yet, take a 325mg aspirin, not the little 80 mg used for daily dosing ... is that right?

Good to hear from you dandelion--it's been a long time. I'm doing fine, now.

MHGinTN, you are correct--one regular aspirin--not the reduced dose or baby aspirin that is prescribed as a daily dose in most cases; although my doc now has me on one adult aspirin daily.

It's interesting that this thread got bumped after all this time! I had forgotten about it.

You didn't bore me at all. I am greatful for your advice, I already do take an aspirin at any sign of chest pain. I have heard that women sometimes will have pain in their back instead of their chest. Looks like you didn't experience it that way. Thank you again & I am so glad you are recovering. Your freeper friend, Ditter.
